We are seeking a Digital Hardware Engineer III with a strong background in digital circuit design for space-grade and high-reliability systems. This role focuses on designing and implementing the hardware circuits that power and interface with FPGAs, CPUs, and high-speed devices (not on FPGA firmware development).

You will lead the schematic-level design process, ensure proper power and signal integrity, and drive the bring-up, testing, and optimization of digital hardware modules.

• Lead schematic capture and digital circuit design for high-reliability modules, including power delivery networks, clocking, and high-speed interfaces.
• Select components, define design constraints, and oversee PCB layout for optimal performance and reliability.
• Perform hardware bring-up and debug, ensuring designs meet all performance and environmental requirements.
• Collaborate with embedded software, firmware, and FPGA engineers to ensure seamless system integration (minimal FPGA coding required).
• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware issues during development and post-production phases.
• Create and maintain detailed design documentation, test plans, and validation reports.
• Optimize designs for performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• Minimum 5 years relevant hardware design experience (9 years without degree, or 3 years with Master’s).
• Proven experience in schematic capture and PCB design for complex digital systems.
• Experience in high-speed interface design/integration (PCIe Gen 3/4, 10–100 GbE, DDR4).
• Strong background in power supply design (high current, low voltage).

• Mid-Senior level

• Full-time
